What questions should I ask the doctor?

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hiello, I have not been diagnosed with any disease, but doctor said an immune disease is possible. It's a difficult situation, and I was wondering what questions I should ask the doctor (I'm seeing another one) to get to the cause of my symptoms.

Symptoms: fatigue, memory and concentration issues, constipation, flatulence, numbness and tingling in hands and feet, itchy skin all over, cold intolerance. Colonscopy and endoscopy was normal. No celiac disease or gastrointestinal diseases except eosinophilic esophagitis and reflux. Thyroid normal. Vitamins and minerals normal. Doctor said rheumatic diseases were not a possiblity, but would not rule out autoimmune diseases. I don't know if one can completely rule out rheumatic diseases though. Any help here would be great.

Blood tests:

IgG 12.0 referance range(6.1 -14.9)

IgA 1.4 (0.7 -3.7)

IgM 2.8 (0.4 - 2.1)

RF-latextest >450 (<20)

ANTICCP <1 (<7)

ANA NEG (NEG)

ANCA Performed ( - )

MPO-ANCA <0.3 (<3.5)

PR-3-ANCA 0.6 (<2.0)
